Scalloped Sleeve Houppelande Dress
This long gown with an even longer back train is made out of poly-velvet; its full sleeve tippets and wide, tilted-out collar and bodice are all lined in colored satin. Known by historians as a scalloped Houppelande, it has extremely long arm tippets that are covered up and down the sides with lined scalloped. In keeping with the historical authenticity of the gown, it has a fairly high waistline and was often (but not necessarily) worn with a belt (belt in some of the photos is NOT included--for demonstration purposes only) and underdress or shirt. This is a garment for an upper-class lady only, not a peasant or your typical washer-woman in the castle. So wear it newest with pride. See below for more information on how this gown is meant to be worn and what made it so typically upper-class Renaissance in style.
**The belt shown in some of the photos is not included with the gown and is for demonstration purposes only.
